In Media Literacy, we have been learning how to attract a target audience. We learned that in order to persuade our audience to be interested in our product, we have to get to know their interests. We then looked at adult cereal boxes compared with children cereal boxes and realized that the children cereal boxes has more colour, a mascot, are more sugary, and may even have a prize! Knowing all that, we went ahead and created our own cereals. Here are some examples:

In Health, we learned about healthy eating using Canada's healthy plate. Just as important as healthy eating, oral health is also something that we should remember to keep up! We should be brushing our teeth at least twice a day, once in the morning, and once at night. We talked about how food particles can get stuck in our teeth and how our mouths are full of bacteria, some good and some not so good. By brushing our teeth, it gets rid of the food and most of the bad bacteria.
Today, I sent home a brushing calendar....please record whether or not you've brushed your teeth and flossed each day. Place the calendar on your fridge and have an adult sign the calendar for January 31. If your calendar is complete, you will get a special treat! Happy brushing and flossing!!!
